Cannot create file /Userse/(username)/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/qtversion.xml: No such file or directory

So when i boot up Qt I get a cycle through a load of error messages all similar to this, where multiple necessary files don't exist. I understand that this is because the installer gives permissions and/or access to the root user however I am not seeing the folders there or anything. Any ideas? I tried this earlier on another computer and there was no issue so I'm stumped.
